LONDON. Dec. 5.-The Posts attempt
to raise dynamite aud dagger scare by
its publication of the story of an alleged
plot to murder Lord Harrington has
fallen fiat. The story is so far-fetched
and obviously ridiculous that nobody
can be found tonight who will admit
that he has swallowed it. and the evil
dence already at hand that the whole
thing was clumsy Tory scheme con-
cOcted to excite the prejudice of the
supporters of the government against
the Irish, to offset the increasing indlg-
nation caused by Balfour's persecution
of the home rule leaders, is inconteSta-
BILE. The almost overwhelming drift OF
current rumOr attests that the writer of
the art icle was sent to Ireland by the
managers of the Post, acting at the in
stance of Tories standing in intimate re-
latiOnS with the government, for the
purpose of working up dynamite SEN
SatiOn in connection with the visit of
Lord Harrington and Mr.. GOSchen to
Dublin, and it goes without saying that
i'll changing the original plans or disre-
garding his instructions by substituting
scene involving a railway disaster and
fuSilade from reVOlVerS for the OrthO-
dOX one dealing with the commonplace
dynamite explosion, he made miser-
able failure. The prime mover of the
complex machinery designed to furnish
much-needed excuses for the present
policy of the government in Ireland is
not yet known, but as the afternoon pa
pers. to the chagrin of the Post, take

tiOns. his identity is of very little conse-
Quence, and the likelihood of his repeat
ing the performance is very small.
CALLAN AND IARKINS
were again arraigned in the Bow Street
police court to-day, and, as was eX-
pected, their case was postponed for an
other week, for which period they were
remanded. 1t is now suspected that the
police are giving undue prominence to
the as yet SuppoSititiOuS OtfenSes
of these men. and the necessary confer
encFs between the prisoners and their
counsel are becoming extremely diff
cult to the latter. During tO-day'S hear
ing Lawyer O'Brien, who has under
taken the defense of the presumed dyn-
amiterS, complained to Justice Ingham
that he had been unable TO hold private
intercourse with his clients, as permit
ted by law. owing to the obstacles in
terposed by the police, among which
was their insistence OH the right of and
necessity for having constable or jail
official present, or at least so near that
no conference be held privately. The
magistrate promised that the source of
complaint should be removed. The eX-
traordinary police precautions which
were put in force when Callan and liar-
kins were arrested still continue, ,and in
creased vigilance Of the detectives and
police in search of dynamite in Out-Of-
way places has not been relaxed.
DISPATCHES FROM PARIS
state that it is asserted there tonight
that NM. ROuvier and Spuller will be
members of the new cabinet. NJ. Spul-
Ter will be remembered in America as
having taken prominent part in the
ceremony of unveiling the BarthOldi
statue of Liberty in New York harbOr.
Lord Lyons will probably be buried
in the Arundel family vault at Arundel
castle, Sussex, the seat of the Duke of
Norfolk.
The corporation of the city of Dublin
previous to the adjournment of its seS-
sion to-day passed resolution of SYM
pathy with Lord Mayor Sullivan, Oh
whom the corporation proposes to con-
fer the freedom of the city on the Occa-
sion of his release as a mark of that
